Daniel Georgievski labels Brisbane Roar a team 'in all sorts of strife'

Newcastle firebrand Daniel Georgievski insists the A-League title challengers have learned from their mistakes and will show no mercy to a Brisbane Roar "in all sorts of strife."

The Jets were outplayed by Central Coast in Tuesday night's F3 Derby but capitalised on their chances after a red card to Mariners veteran Josh Rose and won 2-0 to consolidate second position on the ladder.

Fullback Georgievski promised the Jets would not be so slow out of the blocks again in Friday's home clash against the Roar.

"Every game is a learning curve and we definitely are looking to not repeat that," Georgievski told reporters on Thursday.

"Brisbane, they're in all sorts of strife. That's up to them, that's got nothing to do with us.

"This year they've obviously thought that getting more experienced players, they'd be better.

"It probably hasn't worked out for them. That's why they've changed their formation so many times.

"For us, we just look for the next game ... history has shown we will overcome whatever they bring.

"Regardless of who the team is, we're going to stick to our structure and try to do what we've been doing. That's why we are where we are."

Georgievski predicted "spectacular" things to come from new Argentine import Pato Rodriguez, who will be handed his first start in place of former Brisbane youth product Joe Champness, who has joined the Olyroos squad in China.

Rodriguez -- an injury replacement for Ronald Vargas -- scored on debut off the bench against the Mariners with a cool one-on-one finish.
